Context of Psalms 50:5
3Our God is coming, and he does not come quietly! A fire burns up everything that is in front of him. There is a great storm all round him. 4He calls to the skies above, and to the earth below. They must watch while he judges his people. He says, ‘Bring my people to me. They are the people who offered sacrifices to me, to agree our covenant.’ 6The skies above show that God is righteous, and God himself is the judge. Selah. 7He says, ‘Listen to me, my people, and I will speak to you. I have something to say against you, Israel. I am God, your God.
